Choosey
The seed is sown
"I might never know"
I'm not sure what
Getting on a motorbike with a stranger?
Wearing short shorts?
Swearing at people?
All three at once?
I could dedicate 2 minutes and maybe one afternoon to realise those dreams
(They aren't my dreams)
There's an injustice
That I don't get on a plane on a whim
Try and make it in country music
In Nashville
(Also not my dream)
I once ate a can of tuna
About a decade into being vegetarian
(Drunk)
Because I felt angry
About telling myself what to do
I totally hold myself back
From working on an oil rig
By being sensible
(Don't want to work on an oil rig, but who am I to hold myself back?)
I'd really like to choose wallpaper
But I'm so scared of regretting it
I'm two years into not choosing
Same with a new sofa
I buy 'interim boots' rather than commit
It saves quite a bit of money
But I'd love to choose well
I might never know
What that's like
